HC Deb 10 September 1886 vol 309 c12
SIR WHITTAKER ELLIS (Surrey, Kingston)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Woods and Forests to sell or otherwise dispose of the parcels of lands acquired by the Woods and Forests in the New Forest at Lyndhurst in Hampshire?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)

It is a little difficult to understand the precise object of this Question. If it means whether any decision has been taken to dispose of particular lands in the New Forest I answer that no such decision has been come to. But, as the hon. Member will know, the Commissioners of Woods are constantly leasing or otherwise dealing with the lands under their care.
